"Oh no, it seems to be late." Risen jumped out of bed and looked at his watch, and he couldn't help but scream terrible.

No way, last night he rolled around in bed all night, he couldn't sleep at all, and finally squinted his eyes dimly for a while in the morning, and naturally got up much later than usual, fortunately, he didn't delay the start of the training course, otherwise he, the instructor, was really faceless, but his breakfast was probably ruined.

He hurriedly washed up and trotted out of the cabin. When he rushed into the pilot preparation room to give a briefing on today's flight training, he found that all the cadets were already seated. Major Yang was already waiting at the briefing table, her face extremely serious.

He smiled apologetically and stepped aside, thankfully not late today.

Seeing that everyone was already in place, the Major cleared his throat and began to speak, and the first sentence surprised Riseen.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there must be some minor changes to today's flight training plan, General Martin will make an important speech to all space station personnel at eight o'clock sharp, please pay attention to the general's talk." She looked at her watch, "When the time comes, turn on the communication channel." ”

The large screen in the briefing room lit up, and General Martin quickly appeared on the screen, sitting at his desk in military uniform.

"All the members of the Resistance Alliance on the **Z-11 space station, hello everyone, this is General Martin, sorry to interrupt you, but we have a very important piece of news that we cannot fail to announce to you...... Please take a look at this news first. ”

The important news? What is it? Resson turned his head and glanced at Sonia suspiciously, the major frowned, lowered his head and didn't look at the screen, Resson suddenly realized, she must have known it a long time ago, it should have been from last night to this morning, because when he was communicating with Fei Lun late last night, he hadn't heard her mention it at all. So, could this be what she had hoped before? What could this be?

“...... At ten o'clock this morning, in Hainison, a border galaxy known for its meat grinder, adjacent to the Galactic Empire and the Earth Federation, Admiral Callaghan, the Imperial negotiator, and Admiral Hamilton, the Earth Federation's representative, officially signed the armistice agreement on behalf of the governments of both sides. According to the agreement between the two sides, all armed forces under the control of the two countries, including all ships, warplanes and personnel of Starfleet and Marine Forces, shall cease all hostilities completely from 10 o'clock on December 17, 24 hours after the signing of the armistice agreement by the representatives of the delegations of the two sides, and withdraw to the rear of their respective fronts before the start of the war in Ephemeris 804 within one week, and neither side shall retain any troops and military personnel on the territory of the other side except for the personnel necessary to supervise the withdrawal and ceasefire. Failure to do so would amount to a grave violation of the Agreement, and the resulting renewed responsibility for the war would be borne by that party. The Supreme Commanders of the two countries shall take all necessary measures and means in the armies under their respective command to ensure that all their subordinates withdraw and comply with all the provisions of the armistice agreement......"

"Guys, the truce is over, the war is over." The general turned off the news broadcast, and his tone was rather heavy, "But it's not us, our war is still going on, we won't give in, we won't compromise with the empire, we will never surrender." I know that the Empire's military strength is much stronger than ours, and the previous battle was not a real battle, a real battle, and it is only now that it ......"

A truce? Is the war over? It was too sudden. Risen didn't know what to say for a while, and he didn't go in after General Martin's words. He only knew that this cruel war, which had been fought for more than four years, was over. According to the news, both sides have to withdraw all their troops to the rear of the pre-war front and restore the original strategic posture, so why bother? After fighting for so long, the result finally returned to the original point, so what kind of strength did the two sides fight before, I knew that it was better to sit down and drink tea? Risen felt a little crying and laughing.

Although the specific terms of the armistice agreement were not detailed in the news, Risen sensed a considerable crisis in the wording of the news and the general's speech. Yes, there is a truce between the Earth Federation and the Galactic Empire, but there is no possibility of a truce between the Resistance Alliance and the Empire, there is a dead knot between them, and it is impossible to compromise. In the past, the Earth Federation and the Resistance Alliance formed an alliance against the Empire, but now only the Resistance Alliance is left to continue to fight alone, and after the Empire truces, it is completely possible to transfer a large number of troops from the front line to strengthen the elimination of the Alliance.

If you still don't understand, then think about the previous Resistance Alliance, before the Empire and the Federation went to war, the Resistance Alliance already existed, and the Resistance League at that time was so pitiful under the oppression of the powerful Imperial Army, there was no Starfleet like today's fast battleships, cruisers, destroyers and even space carriers, the Alliance had a handful of old starfighters that were so old that they could almost be thrown into the garbage, and their "ships" were converted from dilapidated transport ships, The only thing they have an advantage over the Empire is the sacrifice and dedication of the people, but this alone is far from enough to defeat the Empire, or even to sustain their resistance, they can only survive under the weight of the Empire, and apart from a few reluctant raids, they can no longer pose any threat to the Empire.

Therefore, the Empire did not take the Resistance Alliance seriously, for the Empire, this small group of rebels was not much stronger than several famous criminal organizations in the central business district of New London, and it was unceremonious to say that at that time, if the Empire wanted to, it could slap the Alliance to death at any time, sweep their bases, and slaughter all personnel.

But now, the situation is very different, since the start of the war, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Empire to draw troops to fight on the front line and the rear is empty, the Resistance Alliance has taken advantage of the situation to vigorously develop their power and gradually stand out, especially after receiving the assistance of the Federation, the fledgling Alliance has attacked the Empire's lines of communication more and more frequently and on a larger scale, and Operation Firefox is the first time that the strength of the Resistance Alliance has been fully demonstrated, and they have defeated an Imperial fleet in a frontal fleet regular battle, It caused a twelve-magnitude earthquake within the empire. Although news of the operation was immediately sealed by the Empire, the rumors did not go away, and it was a great encouragement to the many potential rebels and those who were dissatisfied with the Empire's oppressive rule, and signs of instability began to appear within the Empire.

That's why the Empire needs this armistice, so that they can bring back their heavy forces to concentrate on clearing the rebel alliance, and the alliance is no longer the innocuous little role it used to be, it has become a big problem for the empire, and the empire will definitely be determined to not stop until the alliance is destroyed. This is definitely the biggest crisis since the establishment of the Alliance, and it is also a test, if you survive it, the future of the Alliance of Resistance will be bright, and it is not a dream to overthrow the imperial system and bring down Steve's dictatorship; If you can't survive it, there will be no more rebel allies in the future......

As for the Federation, Risen cursed fiercely in his heart, wasn't it because of this armistice signed with the Federation that the Empire was able to free up? And what is that provision for the withdrawal of all warships, warplanes and personnel, and what does that mean? In this dire situation, at a time when the Allies need help the most, this agreement means that there may be no more personnel and technical assistance, no more convoys, and everything is up to them.

General Martin's speech continues," ...... The coming period will be the most difficult days for our rebel alliance, and history will witness everything. But no matter what we do in the future, we will never forget our manifesto, our goal ......."

The general stood up and, under the gaze of thousands of members of the Resistance League, solemnly reiterated,

"We, the Resistance League, in any way we can,

resist and oppose the Imperial Army;

rejection of any imperial law that violates freedom and human rights;

committed to the end of the dictatorship and the birth of a new free nation;

that all the people of this country may always enjoy freedom, justice and fairness; ”

"For these ends, we invest our property, our reputation, and our lives."

Risson's eyes moistened, and he stood up unconsciously, along with all the new cadets of the Resistance League in the preparation room, and everyone on the entire space station, and in the voices of countless people, the declaration of the alliance echoed over and over again on the space station, on all the ships moored, in the cockpits of patrolling fighter jets......

He couldn't help but sneak a glance at the only non-member of the alliance in this preparation room, Sonia. Major Yang, she stood calmly to the side, without any expression, and there was no inner fluctuation on her face, just like she usually did. It's just that, under that calm appearance, deep down in her heart, who knows what she is thinking in her heart?

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

On the Archangel, all the Blue Angels team members have consciously stood upright and solemn, in order to express their respect for these brave, determined, and indomitable people.

"Sister Feiren, I don't want to leave them." Little Anne looked pitiful, and the little girl's eyes were already a little red.

"What's going on with those heads at the top of the Federation? How did I sign such an agreement with the Empire, I feel a little unable to raise my head now. Zhang Xiaojing said angrily, "Didn't General Hamilton strongly advocate vigorously supporting the Alliance? Why did he sign that ghost agreement on behalf of the Federation again? ”

"yes, it feels like I've betrayed my allies, especially since these people are all good people." Lan Lan also whispered.

"That is, if there is a truce, there will be a truce, can't we continue to help them? Or we just don't go. One of the team members whispered.

"You, political idiot, will the Empire allow our ships to continue to enter their borders? Don't you see the provisions of the agreement? This is regarded as a grave violation of the armistice agreement, and the resulting responsibility for the war rests with that party. Hmph, it's really easy not to leave, but in case it is discovered by the empire and the war resumes, who dares to take this responsibility? Do you want to carry it? Can you carry it? Let's not forget that once the war resumes, there will be more than one or two dead, that is in the thousands. ”

"But ....."

"It's not up to us to decide, sisters, orders must be obeyed." Yao Feilun sighed softly, "I don't know the thoughts of the upper echelons very well, I only know that with the signing of this agreement, it turns out that the millions of people in the border galaxy who have been forced to leave their homes will definitely agree, at least, they can return to their homes again." ”

The girls were silent, they had been to the war-torn places, they had seen those who had left their homes, and they knew their desire to go home, their desire for a truce, their hope for peace.

"That'..... Wouldn't it be okay to let them go back to the Federation with us? Or, if the situation is critical, let them evacuate to the Federation and come back later, so that we don't cross the line. Little Anne asked again.

"Unlikely," Yao shook his head slightly, "There are so many people in the alliance, how many people will be lost through this route?" Once withdrawn to the Federation, it will not be easy to come back, will the Empire let them come back so easily? And, Annie, you have heard their declarations, do you think they will retreat with us? ”

"No, it won't." The little girl lowered her head in frustration.

Does that mean separation from him? The girl only felt a burst of bitterness, why? Why did the heavens play such a trick on them? She just understood her heart and her feelings yesterday, and today, she actually heard this bad news.

What the hell is she going to do? How do you talk to him? What would he think of her as a member of the Federation?
